Overview
Following residencies in neurology and anesthesiology with fellowships in neurocritical care, neuroanesthesia, and vascular neurology, I joined an active clinical practice in neuro-anesthesia. Our center consistently handles a high volume of neuro-vascular neuro-surgical cases, which require the neuro-anesthesia subspecialization. This small group of neuro-anesthesiologists handles patient care and research opportunities during the perioperative period, as patients move between the emergency department, neuro-intensive care unit, operative suites, and neuro-interventional suites. Further, I am or have been a principal investigator (PI) on several clinical trials involving patients with intracerebral hemorrhage. As part of the Translational Acute Brain Injury Research Center at Duke, I have been the Duke site-PI for large, multi-center trials funded by the National Institutes of Health, including CLEAR-IVH, MISTIE, ERICH, and HI-Def studies.
His clinical expertise encompasses Subarachnoid Hemorrhage, Stroke, Brain Aneurysm, and Traumatic Brain Injury.

Duke Regional Hospital
I am from Rockford, IL and I'm a general surgeon. I always thought I would be a cancer doctor but never a surgeon. It turns out I enjoyed operating. I enjoy the immediate gratification of surgical treatment whether it's removing an appendix, or fixing an incarcerated hernia. I love Durham, NC as does my wife and two children. We look forward to staying here for a very long time and being a part of this community. Dr. Fong is highly rated in 10 conditions, according to our data.

Duke Pulmonary Clinic - Clinic 2F/2G
I specialize in interstitial lung diseases, such as pulmonary fibrosis or conditions that cause lung scarring. I am passionate about providing the best possible care for my patients and stay up-to-date on the most recent advances in the field. The terminology around the diagnosis of interstitial lung diseases, such as pulmonary fibrosis, can be confusing. I believe it is important to take the time to explain each step to my patients. I also believe the best approach to any condition involves working together with my patient and their family to develop an individualized treatment plan. When not seeing patients, I conduct research with the goal of improving outcomes for patients with interstitial lung disease. I enjoy spending my free time with my family and staying active outdoors.
